Tommy Walker is no stranger to song writing and worship leading.  I met him at GMA in Nashville a few weeks ago at the top of the hotel elevator.  He gave me a firm little nudge, wondering why his album hadn't shown up on PraiseCharts yet.  We love Tommy Walker and I know that thousands of our worship leaders love his music.  This album, I Have A Hope, kind of represents a new beginning for Tommy, back in the fold with Maranatha Music.  I've heard lots of rumors that this is his best album ever - and that says a lot, considering the giant songs he has written in the past.

Every week we try to feature a song that seems to be capturing the attention of our network of worship leaders and musicians in a unique way.  If you pay attention to the Top 25 This Week list, you'll see a constant revolving door as new songs are added to the catalog, and the great songs quickly rise to the surface.  Some songs stay around for a long time, others rise and fall very quickly.  Every song seems to find it's special place in the heart of congregations around the world.  Tommy Walker is no stranger to song writing and worship leading.  I met him at GMA in Nashville a few weeks ago at the top of the hotel elevator.  He gave me a firm little nudge, wondering why his album hadn't shown up on PraiseCharts yet.
